Silchar: In a welcome development for rail passengers, the Guwahati–Silchar Express (15615/15616) will now stop at Salchapra Railway Station, fulfilling a long-pending public demand from the region.
The new stoppage will formally begin on February 19, with a flagging-off ceremony scheduled at Salchapra Railway Station at 7:00 AM. The move is expected to improve rail access for residents of Salchapra, Srikona, and nearby areas.
The introduction of this halt comes after approval from Union Minister of Railways, Ashwini Vaishnaw.
Local residents and commuters are likely to benefit from easier connectivity, especially those who depend on rail travel for work, education, and medical needs. The stoppage is also expected to support smoother movement across the wider Silchar Lok Sabha constituency.
With this step, daily travel is set to become more convenient for many in the region.
